With the sad demise of Muxtape, I've had to look elsewhere for my mix hosting needs. This is a small experiment with 8tracks, which has the significant advantage that it's completely legal and is unlikely to get shut down - each "mix" acts as an Internet radio station, and royalties are paid to the appropriate parties. The downside is that the order of the tracks is different on successive listens, which means that you can't control the pacing of your mix or liven it up with ace segues.
The mix is called No accusations, just friendly crustaceans, and it deals with weighty themes such as the permanence of the ocean and the transience of human-octopus love. It's your typical story of Fisherman Meets Octopus, Fisherman Falls In Love, Discovers Life Under The Sea Is So Much Fun!, Relationship Eventually Goes Sour, Nasty Breakup, The Sea Has Been Through All This Before And Will Go Through It Again (But Still Feels Bad For A While).
